3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_skip: skip tracks that match a specified search query
Last post by CapHCapH -
It's not enough. The string in preferences is checked for each track and if running the query against current track returns true value, the entire track is skipped.

Right click an MP3 file in foobar2000, click 'Properties', then click '+ add new'. Enter the partial skip information here and save the changes with 'OK'. Below is a screenshot showing what it will look like. Notice that I left the hours away from the timestamp, it's not necessary to type them if they aren't needed.

Thanks so much for the detailed answer!
Unfortunately for me, if that's the case, it won't be much of a use.
I need every track playing to jump in time and as I have a considerable amount of them, tinkering with each one individually doesn't seem practical.
Maybe if I find an easy way to add or remove the skip tag from all of them at once, it might be an option.
Appreciate your help.

Listening Tests / Re: My tests of AAC/Vorbis/Opus at 128 Kbps VRB vs Flac. (Again).
Last post by Phoenix1 -
Alright, after this many years I happened to run into this post and I decided to repeat the opus vs flac test to see if my hearing hasn't changed.

A lot has happened ever since then, for once I now longer use windows lol (had to install foobar with wine), I also don't have the same soundcard, I use to use a Xonar DG and now I use the apple usb-c to 3.5mm adapter. But I still use the same old superlux 668B.

And I was able to pull it off:



Code: [Select]
foo_abx 2.2.1 report
foobar2000 v2.1.5
2024-05-05 04:16:19

File A: 18. Anea Landing short.flac

File B: 18. Anea Landing short.opus
SHA1: fc74e5273b414c896b7f4b0544f354a91b474db6

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Resampler plugin
Last post by mycroft -
you are free to increase quality parameter to 2x or 4x of original default value if you want more than 16bit (> 92dB) output quality.
visual transforms are not good way to represent how resampler is cutting high end of spectrum too much.
For example better to take up-sampling than down-sampling to original sample rate and compare output differences between resamplers and not by using visuals but comparing output with SDR (signal-to-distortion ratio) or similar measurements.

ardftsrc give superior quality compared to soxr resampler (when comparing with same quality parameters) at same or faster speed at lower latency and much lower complexity of code. (And ardftsrc code is not 100% hand optimized like soxr resampler)

The only real difference is in higher spectrum which is anyway not that relevant for ordinary listeners.

Nice.

I noticed that if you sort by date, you have 2 components from 2022 (Stereo Convolution DSP and Taskbar Playback Progress Bar). It seems they are also compiled with the wrong FOOBAR2000_TARGET_VERSION like the issue I reported with foo_pd_aac recently.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: External Tags
Last post by aelklirion -
The external tags were stored in the files you deleted. foobar2000 caches metadata and it will only automatically read the tags from files again if it sees the file has changed. If you want to handle things manually you'll need to manually force foobar to reload info from files. You can for example do that by holding down shift when you right click a file, then choose 'Tagging' -> 'Reload info from file(s)'.

If you had removed the external tags with the component, it would have done the metadata refresh for you. But if there is nothing for it to remove, it will not do anything.
That makes sense, changing the external tags doesn't change the files like it happens with internal tags so foobar sees no reason to reload the files. I tried what you said and it worked, thanks.
